[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 739725, member: 1550"] I would insist she let a neuropsychologist or top notch psychiatrist give her a deep evaluation. She wont get better without treatment. She needs an evaluation. What was she like as a child? Sounds as if she may be on the autism spectrum. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) includes a lot of anxiety and extreme social phobia is part of it too. Also narrow but obsessive interests and trouble communicating and clueless about life rules. Daughter has many behaviors my autistic son had and he didnt want to drive either. But he got Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) help and is 25 now, on his own, working and doing great. Your daughter cant go on with no diagnosis. Take her to somebody really good, not just a plain therapist. They dont have the education to legally diagnose. They dont know how. A neuro psycologist is my choice. A top psychiatrist may also be okay but many know little about checking for possible Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). It is a special type of evaluatuon. Neuropsychologists test for everything. They are psycologists with extra training in the brain. You can find them at university clinics. They rock in my opinion. You can make this evaluation and her compliance with it a condition of her continuing to live at home. Its not helping her to sit around with herself and you having no idea why she is acting the way she is. If she is on the spectrum she needs interventions but not necessarily medications. Its a neurological disorder that mimics behavioral disorders but is not psychiatric. Yet without treatment (Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) type) it can be debilitating. Please do this for both your sakes.Love and light. [/QUOTE]
